The Tricky Problem of Pride

In trying to encourage myself, I become a boastful hypocrite, looking down on others’ flaws while ignoring my own. My mind becomes a pendulum, swinging from celebrating others to despising myself to quietly exalting myself onto a pedestal.

Servants, not Spectators

The Son of God—Jesus—knelt to wash the feet of men who would abandon Him within hours. He served them anyway. He wasn’t waiting for appreciation or applause. He didn’t do it because it made sense socially. He did it because that’s who He is. And He told us, “I have given you an example, that you should do just as I have done to you.”

What if I loved like Jesus?

When Jesus said “love your enemies,” I believe he really meant it. What would my life look like if I loved others, even my enemies, as Jesus loves me?

Bible Study: Taste and See

God has chosen to reveal Himself through His Word, and He has told us that it is alive, active, and powerful. If Bible study is a discipline that feels hard, boring, or even stuffy and un-relational, I want to encourage you to take a fresh look.

Worship: A Discipline of Life in Pursuit of God

I learned in that season that the discipline of worship is not that I always believe the words I am singing, praying, or meditating upon, but that I need to declare what is true out of trust that the truth of God will transform me. It is in the discipline of worship that my disbelief gives way to belief, and I am transformed into the likeness of my Creator.

Peace in the Hard Times

The peace that Jesus offers is unlike anything the world can provide. Worldly peace is often fragile, dependent on circumstances, fleeting comforts, or temporary resolutions. It comes and goes with the rise and fall of situations, offering only momentary relief. But the peace of Christ is different—it is a deep, abiding tranquility that remains steadfast regardless of life’s storms.

Prayer Is Simple (And Also It’s Not)

Prayer is participating in a real relationship with the sovereign, all-powerful, triune God who spoke all creation into existence. It is an actual conversation between one who is limited, short-sighted, and marred by sin and One who is infinitely wise, perfectly good, and knows the end from the beginning.

Renew Your Mind

When we filter our thoughts, decisions, and actions through the truth of the gospel, we begin to experience transformation in how we see ourselves, others, and our circumstances.

Uncomfortable

If I’m being honest, I have gotten really comfortable in this temporary home of mine. Although it is not perfect, the Lord has blessed me with a fairly comfortable life. So much so, that I too quickly fall in love with life rather than the One who has allowed me to have it.

Confession: Do Something Different

Do you really need me to tell you for the thousandth time a spiritual idea? We’re drowning in spiritual content but starving for transformation. We don’t need more words. We need honesty. And we need to do the work. So let’s try something different today.

Undivided Devotion

Have you ever felt like you were walking a tightrope between trusting God and clinging to something else? You believe in Jesus, but when life presses in, your trust is tested, and you realize you’ve placed your hope in something other than Him. Maybe it’s security, success, relationships, or comfort. You say you love God, but your heart is pulled in different directions.

I Have A Confession

Here’s the deal: what’s true is already true, and God already knows it. If it’s true that you struggle with the sin of anger, that is already true, and not being honest with God or yourself about it only deepens and/or prolongs the struggle. No believer really wants to continue in sin, and yet we often fail to be honest about our sin and take the steps to kill it.
